Chapter 308: Hero
NOWHERE BASE, ANOTHER. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nightwing crouched in front of an alloy door about five meters high, and the mobile computer on his wrist was connected to the gate's cipher disk with a data cable. The virtual screen projected by the computer flickered like a fly, and the six-digit password number switched like a wheel.
Wonder Girl stood behind him with her arms crossed, squinting at his fingers like flying, and said with disdain: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, I only need one punch for this kind of door." ”
"Then our actions will be meaningless." Nightwing stared intently at his screen and replied at the same time, "That's the plan - Raven and Lightning Kid get the main attention, so we can sneak in here with less hindrance and rescue the others who are being held here." If you just slam your fist into it with such violence, then we lose the point of diving in. ”
Kashy pouted and didn't say anything more.
After another half minute, the six-digit numbers flickering on the virtual screen finally stopped. A verification sound, the heavy alloy door let out a low roar, the parts "clicked" to unlock, and the door panel slowly moved away, opening a dimly lit avenue to the two of them.
"It's quite capable." Kahi smiled, "How many other special skills do you have?" ”
"You can use it in any emergency." Nightwing said as he reached out to stop Kahi, who was swaggering and about to step inside, and said, "Be careful. ”
"I know." Kash slapped his hand away with a little impatience, "I'm not a preschooler who needs to be taught by hand. ”
"I'm sorry I have to say that, but I've studied your profile." Nightwing said unceremoniously as he led the way inside, "According to the information, you often act recklessly, without thinking or considering the consequences, and the result is that you often stab some troublesome Louzi, and that is what we need to avoid the most now. ”
"That's a mean evaluation." Kahi was a little annoyed.
Nightwing shrugged: "I'm just objectively seeking truth from facts. ”
Kahi opened his mouth to say something, but Nightwing covered his mouth coldly, and he couldn't help but pull it into the corner and press it against the wall.
Kahi was even more annoyed, and pinched his wrist: "What are you doing?" ”
Nightwing bared his teeth in pain, but tried to signal Kahi not to speak.
That's when Kash realized that something didn't seem right. She fell silent and pricked up her ears to listen. From the other end of the corridor behind the corner, there seemed to be a soft sound from the depths of the darkness, and although the sound was soft, it was even more eerie in the empty corridor.
Cassy let go of Nightwing's wrist, and the two of them poked their heads out together to look carefully. A pair of dark red eyes lit up in the darkness, enveloping their location like ghostly fire.
Emerging from the shadows was a deformed white creature. Some of them are knee-tall as an adult, and some are about the size of an elephant. They have dark red eyes, an ugly appearance, black fangs sticking out of the corners of their mouths, and a pair of twig-like horns on their heads.
Kash covered his mouth, "What are those things?" ”
Nightwing manipulated his projection virtual screen for a while, and said, "According to the information I hacked about NOWHERE, these things seem to be called 'goblins' by them, and they are a species developed for military purposes, and they are endowed with different superpowers depending on the individual. ”
"Sounds like an army."
"It's an army." Nightwing said, "And we have to try to avoid confrontation with them head-on, and try to keep a low profile......"
He had barely finished his sentence when he stopped suddenly. When he turned his head, he saw several small goblins crouching behind them in frog-like positions, staring at them with wide eyes.
"Good...... Well, that's the end of the secret mission. Nightwing sighed, flashing his two short sticks, "It's time to break through." ”
In the same facility, on another floor.
While most of the facility's attention was drawn to Raven and Lightning Boy, Eric was taking the opportunity to do another part of the activity.
After sweeping across the entire floor at high speed in god-speed mode, taking down a dozen guards along the way, Eric made his way to the facility's comprehensive recording room. The server here contains files and records of all the adolescent superpowers captured by the NOWHERE organization so far.
And now, he's here to download the data.
After operating on the switchboard for a while, and seeing that the download progress bar on the screen was almost complete, Eric's face suddenly changed.
"Who?" He asked.
The blue beetle emerged from the darkness behind him.
"Reyes? I'm under control here. Eric shifted his gaze back to the screen, "You should go back to the others." ”
"Nope." The blue beetle stubbornly said, "All of us have gathered together because of you, and everyone is spontaneously willing to obey your command and follow you to this Longtan Tiger's Den...... I think I need to at least know the details of the mission. So don't imagine that sending a little kid away will be able to perfunctory me. ”
Eric frowned, thought for a moment, and finally spoke: "These are the files of the children who were abducted by NOWHERE, confirming my long-standing doubts. I also need data from this lab. There's someone in the NOWHERE organization who is an old acquaintance of mine, and I want to know why he needs this organization and what he's doing here. ”
"Confirmed?" "Does this mean that you always knew that there were a lot of kids who were kidnapped, but you didn't do anything?" ”
"Until a friend of mine came all the way to tell me that my names and Raven's names were on the list of organized raids, yes." Eric said lightly, "Since you've asked all about it, then I'll just say it...... In fact, some time ago, my acquaintances at Aegis warned me to be wary of an organization that was hunting down young superpowers around the world, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. ”
The blue beetle exclaimed, "But you have a chance to stop them in advance...... Do you know what happened here during the time you chose to ignore it? ”
"I'm sorry for what happened to you, but at the time, it was too far from my life. But things are different now, and now I find out that the people in power of NOWHERE may have a lot to do with me, which makes it my responsibility to fight this organization. ”
After listening to his words, the blue beetle stood silently on the side for a long time.
Then, he turned around and walked in the direction of the door.
"You know what? I always thought you were a hero who could lead us out of trouble. Before leaving the door, he finally said, "But I was wrong. ”
The blue beetle figure disappeared through the door, and Eric's eyes remained on the screen without even looking up.
"I've never been a hero." He muttered to himself nonchalantly.
